Fire door closers: our service in Swansea
Looking for fire door closers in Swansea? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Swansea and the wider West Glamorgan area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Swansea range from schools to hotels and shared houses. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Swansea fire doors. We set closers in Swansea buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open.
Overhead, concealed or free-swing
Overhead closers are the most common and easiest to maintain. Concealed closers keep a clean look and deter tampering, if covered by the door's evidence. Free-swing closers let a door move freely in everyday use and close when the fire alarm sounds, which is useful in care homes and for people who find doors hard to open.
As standard, the work covers:
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
- Close-and-latch test from full open
- Record of model and settings
Fire door law for Swansea properties
Fire door work in Swansea follows Welsh building regulations and the Welsh Approved Document B. The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers workplaces and the shared parts of residential buildings here too, placing the duty on the responsible person.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Swansea, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.
Which buildings in Swansea need fire door closers?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Swansea can all commission fire door closers from us. The usual settings are care homes and schools, though single doors for offices are just as welcome.

Questions from Swansea
Do you work in Swansea?
Yes, we take on fire door closers in Swansea and the surrounding area, including Briton Ferry and Gorseinon. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Do all fire doors need closers?
Most do. Exceptions include some doors kept locked shut and some doors within houses, depending on the fire strategy.
Why won't my fire door latch?
Usually the closer is out of adjustment or under-powered, or the latch and keep are misaligned. Both are normally quick to fix.
